Advice required re: newly installed chandelier

[kixchloe]

Hi all,

Thanks so much for your help.

I thought you might be interested to know the latest. I managed to track down and contact the manufacturer of the chandelier and they recommended a C10 breaker. They also said in order to dim the light I should use a dimmer switch suitable for low voltage and wire-wound transformers (the conclusion we came to - thanks!). They recommended a company called Richmond to provide the dimmer switch ... have not heard of them before, but shall check them out.

Cheers,
KixChloe

The easy way out is to run a radial from one of those B16's, into a 13amp fuse-connection unit next to the Consumer Unit using 2.5. cable, and running the light through a 5 amp fuse in the FCU.

Not cheap though
Check the depth of the box as some of there dimmers are fairly deep
